Not only Elvis Presley was listening to the Golden Gate Quartet. Soul Brother No. 1, the late great James Brown also mentioned them as a great musical influence.
This group was often imitated, but never matched. In 1962, a pop group (I think it was the Four Preps) charted on the Billboard chart with a version of this arrangement. Somebody told me Elvis Presley also recorded his version of this arrangement.
simply superb,,,,met CLYDE,DAD AND CLYDE WRIGHT THRU RONNIE I AND UGHA ONE OF THE FINEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE THE GATES ARE ONE OF AMERICAS GREATEST GIFTS TO THE WORLD......
Elvis met the guys in Paris while he was in the army, at the Casino de Paris. They spent a few hours jamming backstage. I imagine that he must have heard them before, but it's probably where & when the idea of his 1st gospel album (his hand in mine) took place. ALL of the arrangements are exactly the GGQ's. And the same goes for How Great thou Art 1967. Anyway, they are both great. Also listen to the Mills Brothers from the 30s, the GGQs must have listened to that a bit too !
That´s true they met in Paris! Mum and I was also there but missed when dad=Caleb Ginyard and the others was jamming with Elvis as we had made a short trip back to Sweden at that moment Elvis came!
'happy' religion.. religion is not something that can be happy or sad. its not something that you come together and sing songs for fun. I like american gospel songs a lot but I like them as nice songs written and sang by nice people because thats what they are
@Del Jones the term 'white mans greed' is not about mere skin colour. its a mindset that created the exploitation of one man by another. many people call it 'white' because it has been institutionalized by white people. and I dont see how watching TV is relevant
I'm an atheist but i was always a huge GGQ fan. I actually own the record of this concert, so this was always my favorite recording of these songs. Great jazzy arrangements, too.
We played this version at my brothers memorial. If anyone can find the version of this that has been remastered, 5hats the version we played. I would love to find the same version of this and play it again ❤ He was a beautiful genius man 24 Schizophrenia
I don't know, tell me if I'm wrong, but the Mills Brothers are waaay more relaxed and better with the clarity and the togetherness of harmonies and their time was even earlier
Such determinations are silly. While there are indeed differences in such as style, delivery, timbre, etc., direct comparison is an empty exercise wholly dependent on personal preference.
Originally the song was about A farm slaves and how they would see these bright red lights in the sky and And would sing to these things to come down and take away from basically the Hell they were in. The original song was from a Gospel group way before this one
Not a gospel group sorry Originally An Old old slave song turn into a Gospel I was fortunate to hear it from this Distinguish African American man but this a Gospel Version of it

Hard to top American gospel music from the 1940s-1960s. I could listen to this all day.
Not only Elvis Presley was listening to the Golden Gate Quartet. Soul Brother No. 1, the late great James Brown also mentioned them as a great musical influence.
I knew it and hear it. I feel it too. Other folks might be very fine imitators but these fine folks are the unmistakeable greatest❤❤❤.

Ah, the days when American Christianity was a generous, happy religion. I miss the end of that and all the gospel stars of my youth.
American Christianity is a lie created by the white man, blow the dust off of your granny's bible and actually read it!
@Del Jones protestantism is nothing but a fake version of christianity adapted for white mans greed

@Del Jones if we are going to unite together, american/western european protestantism cannot be our guide. thats all.
Truly a class act.

Accept Christ
"Well alright! Star Child!" George always knew who to pay homage to :).

Elvis was also influenced by James "Big Chief" Wetherington of the Statesmen Quartet.

When black music was uplifting and soul touching. It is a pity most black music nowadays has become rough and vile.
